๐ฅ SILVER FOR MERTON! ๐๐ฅ
A stunning performance from Team Merton at the 2026 London Youth Games Girls Volleyball competition, finishing as London Youth Games Silver Medallists! ๐๐๐ A huge shout out to and and Mr Xu for their support.
The girls played with incredible teamwork, determination and spirit throughout the entire day, representing Merton brilliantly from start to finish.
Savannah, one of our Merton volleyball players, said:
โThis is our 4th year at the London Youth Games now, and this is the furthest weโve made it. I think the Youth Games is a really good competition for London. It just brings everyone together, and the environment is so good โ whether you win or lose, the vibes are so positive.โ
Weโre so proud of all of our athletes across recent competitions:
๐ Basketball Boys & Girls both finished 13th last week and represented Merton superbly
๐ Boys Volleyball also secured a strong 9th place finish
A huge thank you to GLL for providing the amazing basketball kit ๐
With over 20 London Youth Games events still to come in the next 5 weeks, this is only the beginningโฆ ๐๐ฅ
Stay tuned to follow Team Mertonโs journey this summer!

๐บ WEEKEND SUMMARY ๐บ
๐๐ผ As each week passes, we continue to see some incredible moments to be extremely proud of. This weekend was certainly no different!
1๏ธโฃ Our first highlight is the Surrey Schools District Tournament. Our SMSC coaches took the Merton girls, Sutton girls and Merton boys football teams to Woking and observed a fantastic standard from start to finish. Merton boys claimed a brilliant win, taking home the trophy. That wasnโt the only piece of silverware from the tournament, with the Sutton girls claiming the trophy in wonderful style. Huge shoutout to Merton girls for coming 2nd in such a hotly-contested tournament.
2๏ธโฃ Now we look to our next highlight. On Saturday, the London Youth Games Judo event took place. Team Merton had 25 talented athletes representing them. The standard on display was through the roof. Mertonโs Girls team were ruthless from start to finish, claiming 2nd out of the whole of London. A huge success for all involved! Mertonโs boys team claimed 8th spot, another top effort from their team.
3๏ธโฃ Our final highlight is yesterdayโs football. After such a long Easter break, it was amazing to see 40 Westside teams take to the field. What a brilliant day out for our teams and managers!
๐ค We would like to thank all players, officials, coaches and parents for their efforts and support for not just this weekend, but all weekends!
